A WASHINGTON dispatch says it is rumored
there that the Civil-service Commissioners
will investigate and probably bring charges
against the Hon. J. Milton Durham, Comp
troller of the Treasury, for pernicous activity
and offensive craftsmanship exercised In the
late Kentucky election. If reports are true,
the case calls for investigation. Mr.. Durham
went home to Danvlle to vote which was all
right, but it is said that on election day he
took off his coat and worked at the polls like
any GUNNER" and it is even charged that
he dispensed money to aid the Democratic
candidate. Judge Durham has made himself
conspicuous at Washington by his technical
rulings and stern insistance on retrenchment
and reform. Because he is high officer of
the government is no reason why he should
be permitted to violate the Presidents civil
service order with impunity and help bring
the administration into contempt. Mr.. Dur
hams case should be looked after.

Mr.. HINTON A. HELPER, editor of the South

Mr.. HINTON A HELPER, editor of the South
ern Department of the Manufacturers Record,
seems to be something of a philosopher and So
cial scientist. The Record has been doing
good work in publishing statistics of the recent
growth of the South. Mr.. Helper has just re-
turned from Southern trip and being asked
by an interviewer what he thought the
chief causes of the South falling far behind
the North in the race of progress he enumerated
four-slavery. the mortgage law, the one-crop
system. and the frying-pan. Everybody is
familiar with the blghtipg results of slavery.
and the shftless. impoverishing farming
methods of the South, but the frying pan is a
new factor in the situation. On this point Mr..
Helper said: when l say that the fourth cause
is the fryine-pan. 1 that the Southern
people fry everything they eat They never
boil or broil anything. The brain and the
stomach are in thorough sympathy. and the
former needs changes we'll as the latter. The
South wants diversified cooking as we'll as diver
SIZED agriculture" There is lots of in
this, and Mr. Helper puts it very aptly. Good
cooking is good living. good living makes good
blood, good bio cd is the important element of
civilizati on and progress The frying-pan is
the enemy of good cooking, produces dyspepsia
and bad Blood therefore is the natural enemy
of civilization and progress. Everybody knows
there has always been a superabundance of bad
blood n the South. and what SO likely to have
produced it as the frying pana Perhaps the
gangrened politics and poison Democracy of
the South are traceable to the same cause.

SPEAKER CARLISLE, of Kentucky, is un
questionably man of decided ability and tai
ent for politics. In respect of intellectual
equipment he is one of the foremost men in
the Democratic party. 1t would seem, how
ever, from recent expressions in Democratic
On the party in that State is not as secure as it
might be. During the recent campaign he
was in demand all over the State to make
speeches. but it was given out that he was
sick, and he made none. Since the election
the Stanford Interior Journal says:
'In view of the fact that Speaker Carlisle was
In such wretched health during the campaign
rs to disappoint nearly every assembly that
expected him. we propose subscription for
his benefit, the money to be used in sending
him to some health resort and paying a couple

the list with 500. Anything taken from one
cent up and duly acknowledged John is too
Sickly entirely. especially when he is wanted to

honor him if he will get well"
In the same line the foregoing the Lex
lngton Transcript says: 'Mr. Carlisle's dis
vase takes hold of him very frequently of
late. He ought to have it cured" And the
Greensboro Messenger, another Democratic
paper, quotes the above and says: "Such
words as those used by the Stanford Journal
and Lexington Transcript about Mr.. Carlisle
ire not pleasant to contemplate in connection
with that gentleman's candidacy for Vice
president" There are intimations in all
these extracts which seem to point to Mr.
Carlisle's habits, and which unless thoroughly
yell founded are brutality cruel.

IT is possible the McGarigle case may lead
to much-needed reform of the extraditiou

The present treaty and the practice under it
have become a chronic scandal, disgraceful to
both countries. There are hundreds of rascals
on both sides of the line, fugitives from justice
from one country to the other, who are

SOME of these days the people of Indianap-
oils will realize that they are being governed
by rings. The City of Chicago has just
purged itself of gigantic ring. New York
did the same of the Tweed gang-later of the

needs to look after the Coy gang, the street

There are rings and combines right here, and
they must be exposed and they will be. Let
us have light on these matters.

What IS the Matter with the presid ent?
When tho President arrived at the de.
po. to take the train Tor the long anticipa.
! ted swing around tho circle, he bounced
out Of the carriage and hurried on to the
train. He had forgotten tho partner OF
his bosom. A "Ghoulish Glee" OF the
preas standing near observed tho over
sight and, CALAMITY offering his arm to
Mrs. Cleveland, rushed to the front with
her in time to deliver her to the President,
before thu. ilustered gentleman was aware
TINT he had forgotten anythiug.
When tho 81. Louis delegation waited
the White House to urge upon the Preui-
dent tho acceptance Of their invitation,
Mayor Fiancis remarked oarneetly, "Mr.
President, don't i,rsot Mrs. C!eveland."'
The President replied, 20, she won't let
me forgot hor." Now it is not to ba cup
posed tha. Mrs. Cleveland desired to DO
forgotten. She knew that the invitstions
received by her husband were even q
li.tlD mora Tor her than for him, and sho
wanted to 90. Can it be that she is losing
her influence over Mr.. Cleveland2
This Is noms.hing for the Democratic
party to think about. Mr.. Cleveland will

paign as his good angel, what is the uae
OF going to the trouble and expouee Of q

with her, bu. there is no use for him to
